weekly grocery bill?

Just wondering how much you guys are spending on average to meet your nutritional needs at the grocery store?

I spend around $35-45 depending on what I'm needing at the moment. Most often my grocery's will consist of chicken breasts, oats, sweet potatoes, some kind of fish, spinach, broccoli, eggs and cheese. Am I spending about the same as you's?

Also, I'm a single 25 year old buying for myself only, no kids or wife or anything.

It's all about sams club for me. Costco when I get in the area, but sams club is closer. When I roll up to the checkout with 10 bags of boneless skinless chicken breasts they always ask me what restaurant I work for, lol.

I remember one time on a bulk a few years ago I was eating cottage cheese before bed, and I absolutely HAAATE cottage cheese, to me it's disgusting. But it was working, so I choked it down every single night. Anyways, I bought about 4-5 tubs of it at the grocery store and went to check out and the lady was like "wow, you really like cottage cheese huh?" And I looked at her straight faced and said "no, i hate it" and she was like "umm...oh" and then I left, LOL.

I love those 'day in the life' videos of those bodybuilders... there was another one with an iForce sponsored guy I forget his name though - dude spent ridiculous $$$.

Yea ezekial breads not cheap but how many darn loafs are you guys eating?!? I got a buddy of mine into lifting FINALLY and took him to the grocery store to hook him up and he was being real stubborn about what to buy... ultimately his bill came to around $25 and he looked at me and said 'you spend this every weekend?!?!?!?' like it was the end of the world... then I told him 'no it's usually closer to 50'. I can't imagine his reaction if he went shopping with either of you guys ^^!!!

yea i spend all my money on food. i buy a pound and a half of flank steak pretty much every day, thats around $10-12 a day or probably $80 a week in just steak alone. about 8 dozen eggs, organic if i can find them. 2-3 packs of bacon. $12 for big pack of chicken for the week's lunches. i also eat at least a pound of butter a week. oh man just writing this thing sounds excessive...between groceries and buying fruit and hardboiled eggs at work everyday im definitely at 150 and more...no wonder im broke lol

how the hell do you manage that? not sure if the uk is cheaper than the US for groceries but i spend around $480 a month here in britain and i know i could spend more if i had more cash to do so but it is still a lot of food to get through. I do buy a lot of 'value' stuff and wholesale foods though which probably brings down the bill.
To give you an idea i get 24 big chicken breasts for £17 ( about $26). How does that compare to the US? i know it varies state to state but it would be interesting to know

steak every day!!! That sounds delicious, maybe that's my problem... I look at steak once a week as as 'treat' for myself. For some reason I under the impression of steak several times a week was bad? Probably the same person that said eggs were bad for me... funk that noise!

Steak has a lot of iron in it - having too much iron can be an issue (too much stored iron can become toxic), which is generally why it is recommended to have red meat ~3 times a week. However, if it's not causing you problems and you're not eating it in HUGE quantities, then you could be ok with it.

haha nah, I dunno... I go and I buy chicken breasts, eggs, oats, some veggies, grape fruit usually, peanut butter. Some things last longer to use up than 1 week, things like going out to dinner with the gf happen so food is then shifted to another day and I've got some carry over come the next shopping day. But my bill compared to some of you guys is grossley skewed! I gotta get my eat on I guess

I agree, I don't know where people are shopping for a weeks worth of food for 35 bucks. I've even gone to costco and priced diff of what I pay at publix and it didn't really save much and I'd have to drive pretty far to get to a costco. Their frozen chicken was not much less than publix. My chili recipe in one of my threads didn't have a lot of ingredients and ended up about 35 bucks alone just for that batch.
